September 6 - 10

Munich, Germany

ERS is the world’s largest congress gathering clinicians specializing in respiratory medicine.

As an ally in better sleep and breathing, Philips showcases innovation to help improve Patient’s quality of life. Visit Philips at booth #B1_M02 at the 2014 European Respiratory Society Annual Congress.

Monday 8th September 13h15 - 14h30pm

Complex respiratory events such as leaks, patient-ventilator asynchrony and increases in upper airway resistance may occur during sleep in patients on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy. This workshop will help to learn how to recognize these events and better understand the importance of their negative impact both on sleep and therapy efficacy. It will also help the clinician to know which simple tools can be used to interpret these complex
events.

Tuesday 9th September 13h15 - 14h30pm

The complicated sleep disordered breathing patient may require more than CPAP to treat their condition. This practical workshop will uncover the most effective treatment of servoventilation for the patient who presents with a pattern disorder, such as Cheyne-Stokes Respirations.

Sleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep Disordered Breathing

Sleep Apnea is very common amongst Sleep Disordered breathing, but it can be challenging to screen and diagnose patients in an efficient way, as symptoms are not specific to this pathology. Yet, it is crucial to treat Sleep Apnea patients and prevent them from developing co-morbidities such as cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, etc.

Patients’ initial adherence and long-term compliance to the therapy are also keys to success. As Philips Home Healthcare Solutions, we ally with physicians and care providers for better sleep and breathing, by offering innovative, comfortable and easy-to-use solutions, designed to achieve strong clinical outcomes with high patient satisfaction.
